Chapter 162: Appoint Li An as the King of the County

"Jingyi, what are you doing... Put me down, hurry up and put me down..."

Ang Lee was immediately stole by Xu Jingyi, and Ang Lee was almost depressed. This shouldn't be a move for men to steal women, so why is he now snatched by Xu Jingyi?

Fortunately, when Ang Lee was speechless, Xu Jingyi finally expressed her purpose.

"Your Highness... I offended you, I want to take you into the palace. Your horseshoes are a magical weapon. If all the cavalry of the Great Zhou pressed the horseshoes, then my cavalry of the Great Zhou will turn into an iron army and will definitely be invincible."

After Xu Jingyi finished speaking, Ang Lee no longer struggled. At this time, he also felt that Xu Jingyi's words were right. Why didn't he expect it?

The two horses and the other men quickly passed through the palace gate. At first, the palace guards had to stop them, but when they knew that the visitor was Ang Lee and the former leader of the Meihua Guard Pavilion, all the guards who were going to stop them retreated.

Because everyone knows that neither of them is easy to mess with.

When they came to Wanxiang Palace and entered Jixian Palace, they almost always used a breakthrough. Shangguan Wan'er rushed over and wanted to stop Li An and Xu Jingyi from entering Jixian Palace, because today Xue Huaiyi was serving in the hall.

The grandson saw this grandmother’s meeting with her is not very good.

But Shangguan Wan'er came one step late. Ang Lee and Xu Jingyi had just rushed in desperately. After Shangguan Wan'er also entered Jixian Temple, she heard Xue Huaiyi's roar.

"Defying Emperor Ang Lee, do you know the crime? You are arrogant and domineering in the palace at night... Do you know that this is a death sentence...!"

After Xue Huaiyi cursed, Wu Zetian's voice said without any annoyance: "An'er... Is something happened to me after entering the palace late at night?"

Regarding Wu Zetian's attitude, Xue Huaiyi once again showed a speechless expression.

He looked at Wu Zetian and said, "Your Majesty... the country has its own laws, the family has its own rules, the emperor's grandson Li Anmu cannot tell the truth, if you break into the palace at night, you will be punished if you are guilty...!"

Xue Huaiyi was still shouting non-stop, but Wu Zetian didn't even look at Xue Huaiyi and said, "A child... you always care about something with the child. This child is only a relative like me. If he suffers grievances and doesn't come to me, then who do you want him to find? This way...you go first...I will summon you next time...!"

"Class..." Xue Huaiyi was in a mess. What's the matter? Children... Who is the child? Ang Lee... They are already sixteen, how can they still be a child? But there is no way. Wu Zetian just thought Ang Lee was a child. Helplessly, Xue Huaiyi had to leave in disappointment.

When Xue Huaiyi left, Shangguan Wan'er on the side was relieved. At this time, she saw Shangguan Wan'er walk in and said, "Your Highness, what's the matter with you who want to break into the palace at night? You know, the crime of breaking into the palace at night is very serious. If you are in the court, all the censors will submit their opinions to you tomorrow...!"

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er also showed a somewhat angry expression because Ang Lee was really ignorant. She had been punished by Wu Zetian for being an official. Now she is here again. Fortunately, Wu Zetian is not angry. If she is angry again, should Ang Lee want or not?

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er getting angry, Ang Lee on the side showed an aggrieved expression. It was not his intention to trespass the palace. He was brought in, and the culprit was Xu Jingyi on the side.

Fortunately, at this time, Xu Jingyi kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Shangguan Sheren, this matter has nothing to do with Your Highness. It is the idea of ​​a servant to break into the palace at night, because just now, Your Highness invented another magical weapon, which can enhance the power of our cavalry in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

And it can also reduce the reduction of war horses in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I was so happy that I could not help myself, so I took Your Highness to the palace all the way night and asked Your Majesty to take a look."

"Really..." Wu Zetian's eyes sterned and he immediately looked at Ang Lee and said, "An'er... take out the magical artifact you invented and show it to me."

"Abide by the order..." Ang Lee hurriedly took out the paper with horseshoes, followed him to Wu Zetian, and clearly told Wu Zetian the function of horseshoes one by one.

After nearly half an hour of explanation, Wu Zetian, who learned the details, cheered loudly in surprise: "God is merciful and brings down auspiciousness. This time, my Great Zhou regained the lost land. With this auspicious horseshoe given by God, I will definitely win in one battle.

My Qilin grandson has made great contributions to offering treasures. I want to be named Prince and be named Jie!"

In the Tang Dynasty, the crown prince's son was granted the title of the prince's son. If the prince's son receives the emperor's favor, he can also be granted the title of the county king, minister, and governor (such as Jinghui and five others who participated in the Shenlong Revolution, Guo Ziyi, the general of Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty, etc.), and the county king and the Duke of the Kingdom were the first rank. In the late Tang Dynasty, in the Five Dynasties, there were many people with different surnames and titles for the county king.

However, the titles of this county prince are basically two characters, and are more common in ancient counties, such as the King of Weinan and King of Xiangcheng. However, the prince of Ang Lee only has one title, which is a clever... It is another hint from Wu Zetian.

................

The next day he went to court... Ang Lee's Prince, who had just been named last night, immediately exploded the court. The old minister of Li Tang, led by Li Zhaode, had already formed an alliance with Li Zhaode's instructions last night.

The meaning is very simple, that is, Ang Lee must not be allowed to take the position of Prince.

In addition to the old minister of Li Tang, the Wu brothers were also ready to stop him, because Ang Lee became the prince, which caused everyone's dissatisfaction. Why can you, a princess' son, become the prince?

However, Princess Taiping supported Li An as the prince. Secondly, Li Dan and Li Chengqi were invited to the court this morning. Oh... Li Dan and Li Chengqi went to court again for many years.

At first, Li Dan was a little scared and didn't know what pit his mother wanted to dig for him. Later, after learning that Ang Lee was named Prince, Li Dan felt relieved. It turned out that this was his mother who wanted to support his nephew.

"Go to court..." Shangguan Wan'er let out a crisp sound, and then the eunuch shouted loudly.

Then all civil and military officials came in one after another. Today, there were very many people. Basically, all the Beijing officials in the capital went to court, so because the Mingtang was not big enough, there were also Beijing officials with small positions outside.

"Meet Your Majesty..." The civil and military officials saluted together, and their voices resounded throughout the Mingtang.

Wu Zetian sat on the dragon throne and said slightly: "Don't give me a favor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty...!" All the civil and military officials returned the gift and stood up straight.

Then the morning court began, and all the people's livelihoods and events that occurred in various places would be discussed in the morning court. Following Wu Zetian, he would solve these things according to the suggestions of various ministers.

At about halfway through the morning court, Li Zhaode looked at this time, and a censor nodded understandingly. After one thing was completed, he walked out from the side and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have a comment."

"Say...!" Wu Zetian said slightly while sitting on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty... I hope that Your Majesty will take back the imperial edict to be named Li An as the prince. The prince is the son of Prince Anding. According to the ancestral system, he is not qualified to be named Prince.

Moreover, the emperor's grandson, Ang Lee, did not make great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was named the prince and could not seal the long mouths of the people in the world."

The censor just finished speaking, and another censor immediately came out and said, "I will discuss it..."

"I also agree...!"

"I'm asking...!"

................

In a flash, about twenty ministers walked out, followed Li Zhaode and bowed to Wu Zetian and said, "Your Majesty... According to the ancestral system, Your Highness Li can be named Duke of the County. If Your Highness Li makes contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, then he can be named Duke of the State. At this time, Your Highness Li is the Prince of the County, which is not reasonable..."

"Yes... Your Majesty." Wu Chengsi also bowed and walked out and said, "Although Ang Lee is the son of the eldest princess, it is not right to be named Prince. I hope Your Majesty thinks twice...!"

"I would like to think twice, and I hope your Majesty will take back the order."

Then he knelt down again. Almost two-thirds of the ministers in the Mingtang knelt down. Just say how united they are.

If it were the past, Wu Zetian would have been furious. After all, it would be unbearable to oppose himself so neatly. But today Wu Zetian smiled and looked at the people still standing and said, "Why don't you kneel down?"

Di Renjie smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty is a man of control. I think Your Majesty can issue an order to make His Highness Ang Lee the Prince, so there must be some reason for it."

Di Renjie's words made Wu Zetian smile slightly.

"My mother is the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Whoever the emperor wants to become a prince must have an emperor's reason. We ministers must uphold the emperor's will. Are you a large group of you kowtow here? Do you want to disobey the imperial edict?"

The person who spoke was Princess Taiping. She spoke at this time not to protect Ang Lee, but to protect herself, because if she wants to gain greater power, it would be contrary to the ancestral system.

Now, she is actually helping Ang Lee, just helping herself.

"The state has national laws and family rules. It is not wrong for Your Majesty to be the emperor, but the emperor must also follow the laws of the country. If the emperor does not even follow the laws of the country and relies on his own to do whatever he wants, then how should the world restrain itself?" Li Zhaode refuted Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping on the side glared at Li Zhaode slightly.

At this time, Wu Zetian looked at Li Dan and asked, "Dan'er, what do you think of my appointment as Prince Li."

Li Dan walked to the hall and bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty... The princess's son was named Prince, which is indeed incompatible with the ancestral system... However, the ancestral system also has an explanation. If this person has made great contributions to the court, he can also be named Prince.

For example, Liu Jizhen: He was granted the surname Li and was granted the title of Prince Pengcheng. Gao Kaidao: He was granted the surname Li and was granted the title of Prince Beiping. Hu Daen: He was granted the surname Li and was granted the title of Prince Dingxiang.

So as long as An'er can make great contributions to the court, then there is nothing wrong with being named a prince."

"The prince is right...but Your Majesty...What is Ang Lee's great contribution to the court?" Li Zhaode looked at Wu Zetian and asked.

At this time, Wu Zetian looked at Li Zhaode and other ministers with a smile and said, "What is Ang Lee's great contribution to the Great Zhou Dynasty? I don't need to say this, let Ang Lee say it himself..."

After a pause, Shangguan Wan'er shouted: "Prince Xuanjie Ang Lee came to the palace..."
